twice in a month i have to fly to singapore for meetings. and i couldn't be happier to be in this city state at this time of the year. it's christmas in the tropics time! all the ornaments and lightings are lit up to spruce the feeling. it reminded me of plaza light in kansas city during the holiday seasons minus the zero degree celcius temperature.

after meetings, i took time to stroll down orchard road to borders bookstore or kinokuniya. many times, i would go to food republic at the top of wisma atria, bought a beef balls and tendon soup to go in a container and took it down out of the food court. eating my S$6 dinner on the side bench at the pedestrian area in front of wisma atria while seeing people walking by in orchard road is the stress buster i can only have in this city.
